Got up it with rests, very pumpy, top out wasn’t too bad, them rotten pegs really focus the mind, good nut above them though. Need to work on endurance before going for this again. Going straight after a physio/acupuncture session probably wasn’t the smartest idea. Great route though

Ok technically it's not an onsight as I got on this route 10 years ago and retreated before the crux. Given that I definitely did not remember any crucial beta and climbed the crux onsight, I reckon it counts. Exciting mantle at the top!

Get mates gear/ wanting to give it a go, got horrendously pumped rested, bailed off route finishing via exiting right before mantel crux.. hangover did not help wish i'd left it for a better attempt, really good solid climbing, one to return for!

Not that steep but surprisingly pumpy, though nothing desperate. May be I just wasn't warmed up properly. Other than that, the climbing is straightforward until the 'hidden' nut placement and handhold. Technical move to gain the break above, followed by a technical sequence to top out onto the sloping ledge, which felt quite precarious as I was side on some way above the last piece of gear in that 'hidden' placement. Nice moves though.

My first proper trad fall, gutted to have not managed the climb cleanly, when I got back on the place I fell it was easier than I realised, just needed to bump my feet up. Then came the scary mantle!! On the other hand I am really pleased to have committed and taken a proper fall.

Went smoothly right up to the mantle, attempted 4 or 5 different methods each time a bit more pumped, first straight up, then slightly different hand position, then over to the right, very pumped at this point and about to go for it in a last ditch effort till i found a much much less desperate way which went easily.

Ground up. 27 degrees, so hot. The ramp might have been a bad choice. Blew the onsight on the mantle and took a fair sized fall, (10meters?) Fortunately the wire held. Went straightforward 2nd attempt. Really quality route though, well deserving of 2 stars.

Notgnarly lead but went straight up rather than left; I lead on his gear but taking the right line; then notgnarly led again on my gear on the right line; finally, I seconded on notgnarly's line!
First pitch only.
